210 Durable Petty/Suji

Hey everyone,

Was hoping for a bit of info on durable 210 petty/sujis to use a service knife. I'm looking for one that if the $#!^ hits the fan and something needs to get boned, it won't look as beat up as Rhianna after date night (too soon?). I'd still like it to be a good little knife for slicing and such, just not too anorexic that the edge is a smidge tender--unless you think a konosuke hd could hold up to that particular task.

Thanks for the info!

It is our human duty to enjoy life. We’ve got to be greedy about living. We learned that greed is a vice, but that’s old. Greed is a virtue. Especially this greediness for life.

I'll look into the hiro. 210 may not be ideal but the concept is that I would only have the one knife available. Its primary use would be general purpose service knife with the potential to do a wide variety of tasks.

i used konosuke and tojiro 210 pettys as line knives in the past and got by just fine. i wish i wouldve known about that hiromoto sooner. its on my short list.

Exactly one user has reported these issues and this very same one afterwards suspects a wire edge to be the cause of his troubles. I've sharpened a few times a Hiromoto G3 and didn't notice anything special about it, besides that it's quite easy sharpening. Neither have I seen other reports in this sense.
This to put this single report somewhat into perspective.
